CHINA GROUND SOURCE ENERGY LIMITED 中國地能有限公司

(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 8128)

FIRST QUARTERLY RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

Characteristics of the Growth Enterprise Market (the “GEM”) of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”)

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and the Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.

This announcement, for which the directors (the “Directors”) of China Ground Source Energy Limited (the “Company”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue recorded approximately HK$60,555,000 for the Review Period.

Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the Review Period amounted to approximately HK$3,838,000.

No dividend was declared for the Review Period.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the period, in order to accelerate the promotion and application of energy conservation and emission reduction technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the People’s Bank of China and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Implementation of Energy Management Contracting to Promote the Development of Energy Conservation Service Industry (《關於加快推行合同能源管理促進節能服務產業發展的意 見》), providing greater support for the development of energy management contract service industry. Ever Source Scientific and Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“HYY”) under China Ground Source Energy Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), by combining its international patent technology of shallow ground energy collection through Single-well Circulation Heat Exchange with the internationally-accepted technology of buried pipes, has proved its Ground-source Heat Pump System to be fully applicable in locations of various geological conditions and highly efficient in providing heating to buildings in a clean and emission-free way, i.e. free of pollution, water loss and potential geological risks, which realizes the energy conservation and emission reduction. With the patent technology, the Group makes great efforts on the promotion of energy management contracting business. As the Chinese government has launched a series of relevant supporting policies, the Group is very confident that the shallow ground energy utilisation as our core business is bound to grow at a high speed.

The Company has changed its financial year end from 30 September to 31 March. Consequently, the reporting period for the first quarter of this fiscal year covers three months from 1 April 2010 to 30 June 2010, while that for the first quarter of last fiscal year was from 1 October 2009 to 31 December 2009. As a result, the comparative figures for the corresponding period set out in this quarterly report represent the results recorded during the period from 1 April 2009 to 30 June 2009.

Total revenues for the three months ended 30 June 2010 (the “Review Period”) decreased approximately HK$8,289,000 or 12% compared to the corresponding period of last year. Our business is project-based, dependent on winning projects and timing of customer implementation of such projects. During the Review Period, there is a seasonal shift in placing orders for the shallow ground energy business, it is expected that sales volume for this segment will pick up in the third to fourth quarter of the calendar year.

The increase in our gross profit margin is due to a combination of product and service mix with higher profit margin percentage and efficient cost reductions. The mix of services and product we sell in any one quarter is variable, and is prone to shift in ways that our future gross margin rate will vary accordingly.

During the Review Period, CGS’s cost and expenses decreased approximately HK$51,172,000 or 47% compared to the corresponding period of last year due to the following factors:

  • Cost of sales decreased approximately HK$22,242,000 (40%) primarily due to more effective cost control implemented by the Group.

  • Other operating expenses decreased approximately HK$26,860,000 (100%) primarily due to the decrease of debt written off from other receivables of financial assets over the same period last year.

  • Finance costs for the three months ended 30 June 2010 decreased approximately HK$3,630,000 (47%) compared to the same period of 2009. The decrease was due primarily to the cancellation of convertible notes related to acquisition of Shenzhen Lisai.

Profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company was approximately HK$3,838,000, or 6% of sales, in 2010 compared to a loss of approximately HK$24,976,000, or 36% of sales in 2009. The changes in profit attributable to equity holders of the Company compared to last year was due to the increase in profit margin and decrease in total expenses.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

In May of this year, following the co-operation agreement signed with the government of Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County (新賓滿族自治縣) , another cooperation agreement was signed between the Group and the government of Wafangdian City (瓦房店市) for constructing the main district in the coastal economic area of Wafangdian City (the “Main District”) as an ecological low-carbon model district. The total area for construction as an ecological low-carbon model district is approximately 22.4 square kilometers. The Group shall assist in land development in the Main District by facilitating to formulate the overall planning of land use in Wafangdian City and the blueprints of the land use planning, city overall planning, and controls planning and energy planning in the Main District, so as to set an example for the utilisation of ground source energy as a new substitute energy to provide heating for buildings. The Group is actively liaising with the government of Wafangdian City in formulating the comprehensive land-use planning and blueprint and on the pre-planning arrangements for future development.

Both parties have also completed the capital injection, it is presently in the process of completing the business registration with the relevant government authority. BEHP mainly engages in the production of ground energy heat pump mechanical units. With the cooperation with Beijing BeiJi, we aim to expand BEHP’s existing production scale and improve its production capacity and efficiency and reduce product price, so as to meet the product demand for the Group and the overall market as well as to enhance the profitability of the Company.

Environmental Protection

During the Review Period, the CDM project of Xiaping landfill site has been under the management of Shenzhen Lisai Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Lisai”, a company principally engaging in the business of environmental protection), where the monthly amount of certified emissions reductions (“CERs”) has been increasing steadily. As the CERs transactions of the Company shall be subject to the approval by the Executive Board of United Nations authority, the certified volume of CERs for the period is still pending for approval.
